DeSantis boots woke prosecutor Andrew Warren for failing to enforce state laws
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has suspended a George Soros-backed progressive prosecutor for failing to enforce state laws.
DeSantis said Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren — who oversees the Tampa Bay area — will be removed from his post immediately. The governor said he will ultimately seek his dismissal.
At a press conference Thursday, DeSantis insisted Warren had “publicly put himself above the law” while frustrating local deputies and citizens with a soft-on-crime approach.
DeSantis said Warren directed his office to let serious offenses slide and that he vowed not to enforce any current or future laws regarding abortion or gender-reassignment surgery on minors.
“We are not going to allow the pathogen that’s been around the country of ignoring the law, we are not going to allow that to get a foothold here in the state of Florida,” he said. “We are going to make sure our laws are enforced and no individual prosecutor puts himself above the law.”
